The bigger the decision, the harder it feels to make. We overthink, second-guess ourselves, and sometimes freeze entirely. But what if there was a simple framework designed to cut through the noise and help you confidently choose the best path forward? 

In this Quick Win episode, Jake Knapp—bestselling author and creator of the Design Sprint process—shares his Magic Lenses framework, a structured way to weigh different perspectives without getting stuck in analysis paralysis. 

Jake and I discuss: 
Why big decisions often lead to overthinking—and how to break the cycle 
How the Magic Lenses framework helps you make complex choices in just 48 hours 
The 4 essential lenses every great decision-maker uses
